Monomorium View in CoL View at ENA baushare Collingwood & Agosti, 1996 Fig. 11

Monomorium baushare Collingwood & Agosti, 1996. - Fauna of Saudi Arabia 15: 342. (Oman).

Specimens examined: Yemen, Socotra Island: 11 ☿☿, Adho Dimello, base camp , 12°34N 54°02E, 940 m, 03.II.1999, H. Pohl, HLMD-Hym-2084 , NHCY, CCC ; 8 ☿☿, Goeeh , 12°32'N 54°10'E, 240 m, 23.X.2000, H. Pohl, HLMD-Hym-2085 , NHCY, CCC GoogleMaps .

Remarks: This minute yellow species has been described from Yemen and Oman and is very similar to a group of Afrotropical Monomorium species with 11-segmented antennae, including M. exiguum Forel, 1894 , which in itself is probably an amalgamate of sibling species (Bolton 1987). It differs from M. exiguum by the flatter ventral head surface and longer scapes ( SI 85-91 compared to 74-84). Like other species of the M. monomorium-group sensu Bolton (1987), particularly those with reduced eyes, M. baushare apparently inhabits leaf litter or topsoil.
